Now What?
Hi !

Diane Armstong

Mark your calendar. Reserve your space!
Even though it has been posted on my web site for a couple of months, I'm rippling out the  announcement of the first (of what I hope will be annual) Energy Advance Weekend in Snow Hill, MD.

In my humble opinion (and experience), there comes a point in our personal growth where we feel it's time to move on. By this I mean we are aware of what triggers us and feel we have invested enough time in figuring out what it means. 

We've also realized it's always going to be something AND have practices in place which help to re-align our Human and Being "selves" when and where we feel it's necessary. In a way it's sort of like, "Now what?"  If this is where you are , I'm happy to report, "Lots!"

I'm planning a weekend Advance (yep, the opposite of retreat) in June for those interested in exploring ways to increase the vibration of Well-Being in our lives. Using the Chakra system as a jumping off point, this weekend will be all about expanding our ways of recognizing, connecting, and reconnecting with Source Energy on the fly—in any situation. Sound exciting?  Yes indeedy…it is!  Find out more including how to register via this link.

Love,

Take Control of Your Energy Level

chakrasLearn how to access the energetic level of your being via the Chakra system, a 4,000 year−old model brought to the West through the tradition and practice of Yoga.

This informational seminar covers the basic history of the chakra system, the location and overall meaning of each chakra, and a guided visualization focusing on each individual energy center.

If you have been a regular subscriber, you know this offering is one I frequently facilitate.  Frankly, the reason is because it feels good to get the opportunity to connect with the people that show up. Each discussion perfectly unique and always different.  There are even returnees showing up now. Which takes the conversation to even more interesting places. 

So I'd just like to put it out if you're still interested in this topic, regardless of whether you've attended one of these discussions before or not, the conversation is never boring nor stagnant. How could it be, You are there!

Berlin, MD
Date & Time: Saturday May 17, 2008, 9 am to 12 noon
Investment: $ 0.00 please call me at 410-251-7701 to register.

As I wrote above, I'm planning a weekend Energy Advance in June for those interested in exploring Energy in more detail. Find out more including how to register via this link.


Guided Visualization Workshop
Guided Visualizations
Journey to the center of your world.

Studies have shown that the brain does not differentiate between what is real — or imagined. It merely reacts to the thoughts we think most often.  

Shifting the focus from what's going wrong to what's going right is an empowering process that slows down the aging process and helps our bodies heal more easily.

Guided visualizations are a gentle, well-established way to practice shifting your thoughts in more helpful directions.   Join me for this 4-week program that will enhance your wellness routine.   

Each week you will experience a different guided visualization followed by a related exercise and group discussion.  Register and receive a copy of my Welcome Home Visualization CD at no cost.

Address: Berlin, MD 21811
Date: Saturday, April 12, April 19, April 26 & May 3rd, 2008
